[QUOTE="suzi, post: 116412, member: 11767"] Hi Gayle, Absolutely delighted that Niamh is doing her own injections, i remember when Andrew started to do them at camp himself and he wrote me a postcard to tell me how things were going. Right at the end of the message he squeezed in, 'and i'm doing my own injections', i cried!! It was one of my proudest moments, and something all parents must truely feel. Her body letting her know at 4.9 that she was going hypo is a good thing, over time, when her bs level are panned out a bit more, she'll probably have the feeling when she's slightly lower. But you did the right thing in treating her. Andrew once had a drastic drop of bs (2.4) and didn't feel a thing, but i knew to look at him that he was hypo, pale, glazed eyes, vacant expression and very agruementative. You will recognise this too in Niamh. As long as you treat a hypo with a lucozade, jelly babies ect, then follow with a long acting carb, she'll be fine (andrews lowest has been 1.2) still standing and took half bottle of lucozade, and 4 slices of toast and a long sleep afterwards for recovery and he was fine. Take care and i'm shuffed for you both, Suzi x [/QUOTE]
